I was very worried prior to this election about all the fraud that looked like it was about to happen because of people like Soros paying groups to register more Democrat voters. I figured the one hope Republicans had was the $ would just be so tempting that he would be ripped off big time and the Democrats would get little or nothing in return. I was right about that. I was not aware of the Republicans plan to actually send observers to the counties and precincts that have always had tons of fraud. This really slowed them down in some places, but in other places, the fraud went on as usual in front of the observers.
I would like to see motor-voter repealed and same day registration and voting discontinued. Both are an invitation to fraud, but I don't want to federalize the way we vote and I don't want some federal election bureau under an amendment to the constitution running things. If we could get every state to pass proof of citizenship and photo ID for registration as well as showing the proof to vote, it would be nice and would help a lot. Beyond that it's a danger and a waste of tax $ to impose on states the same method of voting, etc.
An observer in Cahokia Ill. did catch Fraud happening in the last election. But are we going to have to have observers in every election from now on. The local election boards will always have to actually run the elections, that can never change. But the equipment they use and the process must. Washington's King county was told 6 years ago to cleanup their act under state law. 3 TV reports by Seattle stations. They said they changed.
Still in 2004 it remained the same mess as in 1998. They run things in king county. They do things the way they want. This is how it's been in hundreds of counties across the country for years. King county broke over 11 state laws in the 2004 election and nothing has happened yet. We will be Lucky to get a re vote. They claim it was just a mistake. The fact is, the system is broken and open to mistakes and fraud. If ballots where money everyone would be talking different. Maybe people don't value their vote enough to give a dam. Would you allow your money to handled like we handle the ballots?
band aides will not fix the problem.
